Philadelphia 76ers president Daryl Morey gives his thoughts on rookie big man Johni Broome in the summer league.

While the 76ers Summer League hasn't quite gone as planned, the team has done enough good to ease fans' minds.

Jared McCain and VJ Edgecombe emerged from the locker room Saturday afternoon and grabbed a pair of NBA TV microphones. That was part of a mini media tour for the two 76ers guards in the area behind the tunnel of the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas.

As the Sixers move forward, it's important that they get this type of leadership from big man. As a rookie, Bona was charged with being that vocal guy on the back end of the defense. Veteran big man Joel Embiid and Andre Drummond were pushing him to use his voice more and be that guy on the defensive end.

LAS VEGAS — The Charlotte Hornets defeated the Philadelphia 76ers 96-94 in the NBA 2K26 Summer League at Thomas & Mack Center on Saturday.

From KJ Simpson to Tidjane Salaun, here are the biggest overreactions from the Charlotte Hornets' undefeated Summer League start.

He's expected to be part of what should be a talented backcourt, with Tyrese Maxey, Jared McCain and Quentin Grimes—assuming he eventually re-signs with the team—also expected to have major roles in the 2025-26 campaign. Veterans Kyle Lowry and Eric Gordon could see minutes as well.

After a strong Summer League debut in Salt Lake City, VJ Edgecombe has been sidelined since the action shifted to Las Vegas due to a thumb injury. However, the Philadelphia 76ers have "optimism" that the rookie could return if his current progress continues,

Judah Mintz, who played in the G League last season, leads the way for Philadelphia in the win at the Salt Lake City Summer League.
